Kariboe Wind Farm & Battery

O projekcie

The Project

OX2 is planning the Kariboe Wind Farm and Battery, featuring a 225 MW wind farm and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) up to 225 MW with a duration of up to 4 hours.

OX2 acquired the Project from BayWa r.e. in mid 2025. 

The Project is located approximately 40 kilometres southeast of Biloela and 45 kilometres northwest of Monto, across the Shires of North Burnett Regional Council and Banana Shire Council, in central Queensland. 

The Project will connect to QLD’s electricity network via a switching station linked to the existing 275kV Calvale to Halys double circuit transmission line. No additional line is required to connect the Project to the existing network.

We are currently in the early stages of the Project’s development and anticipate starting construction in 2028, and operations in late 2030.

Project Benefits

The Project is expected to deliver affordable, clean, and reliable electricity for Queensland while offering economic, social, and environmental benefits, including:

• Powering up to 90,000 QLD homes with clean energy.
• Offsetting 430,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
• Storing energy in BESS for dispatch when needed most, increasing grid stability and security.
• Creating procurement and employment opportunities during construction and operations.
• Funding community benefit programs.
• Enabling greater integration of renewable energy into the grid to help reduce market volatility.
• Supporting Qld’s renewable energy and net zero targets.

Community Engagement

OX2 is committed to collaborating with the local community, Banana Shire Council, North Burnett Regional Council and Traditional Custodians to understand community views and aspirations and to design a Community Benefit Agreement that drives positive economic and social value. Community engagement activities will begin in late 2025.
